How This Calculator Works

On a $75,000 salary paid every two weeks, each Maryland paycheck starts at $2,885. About $295 goes to federal income tax, $221 to Social Security and Medicare and $202 to Maryland and county income tax, leaving about $2,167 before any 401(k), insurance or other deductions.

That state withholding is the 2nd highest of 51 (50 states and D.C.), $102 more than the typical state per paycheck ($2,656 over a year).

Among neighboring states, Pennsylvania leaves the most: about $2,280 per paycheck on the same salary, $113 more than Maryland. Where you pay income tax depends mainly on where you live and work, so check the rules before moving across a state line.

Every Maryland county (and Baltimore City) adds an income tax of roughly 2.25% to 3.3%; the calculator starts at 3%. Enter your local rate in the calculator if it applies to you.

A real Maryland pay stub can differ a little from these figures, because the estimate spreads the year's tax evenly across your paychecks instead of using your employer's withholding tables.
